Scientific Research and Leadership Profile
 Research
E.C. Aifantis has promoted highly interdisciplinary work in mechanics of materials by bringing into the field of solids
mechanics ideas from diffusion theory, chemical reactions, and nonlinear physics. Among his initial contributions, while at the
University of Illinois, was the development of stress-assisted diffusion theories with applications to hydrogen embrittlement
and stress corrosion cracking, as well as flow through porous media theories (double porosity theory) with applications to
consolidation and subsidence. This work motivated the concept of viewing a stressed solid as an active medium the
deformation of which is governed by the production/annihilation and transport of defect populations. This led to the
development of the first models to interpret self-organization of dislocations and deformation patterning. The WalgraefAifantis model was the first to predict widths and spacings of the layered dislocation structure of the persistent slip bands
observed in fatigued crystals; this model is contained as an example in Chapter 6 of the Nobelist’s Ilya Prigogine book
“Exploring Complexity”, Freeman, New York (1989). This work has motivated, in part, a large number of follow-up works on
dislocation patterning, including recent papers on discrete dislocation dynamics simulations (e.g. Kubin, Zbib, Groma and
others).
Another important contribution (jointly with Jim Serrin) in early eighties, while at the University of Minnesota, was the revisit
of Maxwell’s rule and van der Waals theory of fluid interfaces within a strictly mechanical framework incorporating higher
order density gradients in the interfacial stress tensor. Among the results were the relocation of Maxwell’s line and the
derivation of transition, reversal and periodic solutions for fluid interfaces. This work motivated in part a large number of
works in continuum mechanics (Coleman, Gurtin and others) in the area of Continuum Phase Transitions.
Later in mid eighties, while at Michigan Tech, he proposed the first gradient plasticity model to predict the thickness of shear
bands and eliminate the mesh-size dependence of FE calculations in the strain softening regime. This was used in FE codes
developed by de Borst, Tomita and others to solve large-scale engineering problems for which classical plasticity did not work.
Other gradient plasticity models such as those proposed by Fleck/Hutchinson and co-workers were developed later in the midnineties and a large number of researchers are working today on such theories for interpreting size effects and other
phenomena at the micron scale.
In the early and mid nineties, jointly with his experimental collaborators Walter Milligan and Steve Hackney at Michigan
Tech, he directed a project on nanostructured materials and “coined” the term “nanomechanics” as he did earlier with
“dislocation patterning” and “material instabilities”. They identified, theoretically and experimentally, the critical grain size
regime where plasticity transition occurs from grain rotation/sliding in the absence of dislocation activity to intragranular
avalanche-like dislocation motion. This mechanism has also been numerically confirmed by MD calculations recently
performed by Swygenhoven’s group at PSI-Switzerland. For bulk nanocrystals they discovered another plasticity transition
mechanism controlled by “multiple” or “massive” shear banding without any hardening, not observed for the conventional
grain size counterparts of these materials which are always strain-hardened. The first mechanical models at the nanoscale to
explain the observed behavior were developed at that time and these models are currently being improved for applications to
nanotechnology.
Since 2000, while at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki where he currently holds his regular appointment (while maintaining
a distinguished research professorship at Michigan Tech), he continued with students and postdocs his earlier work on gradient
elasticity (by expanding on his non-singular solutions previously derived with his co-workers Altan, Gutkin, Ru et al) which
has recently become a popular topic in Greece (Aravas, Beskos, Exadaktylos, Georgiadis, Giannakopoulos, Vardoulakis) and
elsewhere (EU, US, China). Work is focused on dislocations/disclinations and cracks/interfaces, as well as nanomaterials
including nanotubes and nanomembranes. Gradient theory and multi-element defect kinetics are used to capture mechanical
behavior at the nanoscale. Wavelet analysis and neural networks are used for bridging the length scale spectrum. Main senior
collaborators included A. Romanov / I. Ovid’ko (St. Petersburg, Russia) on defect theory, A. Carpinteri / N. Pugno (Torino,
Italy) on fractals and size effects, S. Forest (Ecole des Mines, France) and P. Steinmann (Univ. Erlangen, Germany) on
gradient plasticity, H. Askes (Univ. of Sheffield) and M. Lazar (Darmstadt Univ. Tech.)/G. Maugin (Univ. Paris VI) on
gradient elasticity, M. Zaiser (Univ. Edinburgh, UK) on stochastic dynamics/avalanches and random plasticity, I. Groma
(Eotvos, Hungary) on discrete dislocation dynamics, and I. Vardoulakis (Nat. Tech. Univ. Athens, Greece) on soil mechanics
and granular media.
During this period he also supervised a large number of Greek and European doctoral students and postdocs through his
coordination of a European TMR/Training and Mobility of Researchers Network on Spatio-Temporal Instabilities in
Deformation and Fracture (ERB-FMRX-CT96-0062; 1.76 MECU) and a RTN/Research Training Network on Deformation
and Fracture Instabilities in Novel Materials and Processes/DEFINO (HPRN-CT-2002-00198; 1.5 MEuros), and through his
participation in a RTN/Research Training Network on Degradation and Instabilities in Geomaterials with Application to
Hazard Mitigation/DIGA (HPRN-CT-2002-00220; 175 kEuros), as well as his coordination of 3 INTAS Projects (INTAS-933213; 30kECU, INTAS-93-3213 – extension; 40 kECU, INTAS-94-4380; 24 kECU), in addition to PENED (42 MDrs) and
PYTHAGORAS (50 kEuros) Grants from the Greek Government.
 Leadership
Organizer of a series of workshops and symposia on “material instabilities”, “dislocation patterning” and “gradient plasticity”.
Active collaboration with colleagues from different countries and disciplines. In a first International Conference organized in
Thessaloniki in 1990 under joint sponsorship of the US National Science Foundation and the Commission of European
Communities, he supported the participation of about 50 scientists from the former Soviet Union. At that time the idea of
establishing an International Research Center in Thessaloniki was conceived. Recently this idea has been revived with the
interest of the former Minister of Serbia D. Sumarac (also a Professor of Mechanics at Belgrade University) and International
Colleagues in Governmental positions with the attention of the former US Senator P. Sarbanes.
Most recently the Laboratory of Mechanics that he is coordinating was chosen by the youngest ERC Starting Grant Recipient
K. Aifantis (Physics Today: April 2008 issue; BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7264828.stm; Science Carreers:
http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_development/previous_issues/articles/2008_03_21/caredit_a0800043) to conduct
her 5-year research grant of 1.13 million Euros. Also it has been awarded 2 EC International Incoming Fellowships for A.
Romanov and N. Kioussis to conduct their research for the next 2 years with a grant of 200 kEuros each.
Research ties are also kept with Michigan Tech and other US Universities (I. Chasiotis – U. of Illinois/Urbana, L. Zhigilei – U.
of Virginia, R. Ballarini – U. of Minnesota, S. Eppell - CWRU) through a NIRT grant (Novel Experiments and Models for the
Nanomechanics of Polymeric and Biological Nanofibers / NSF NIRT Grant DMI #0532320; 1.3 million USD).
Finally, in the last 5 years he actively participated in the establishment of educational curricula in Nanoscience. He has been a
founding member of NUE: Undergraduate Exploration of Nano-Science, Applications and Societal Implications at Michigan
Tech (http://nano.mtu.edu/nueindex.htm), as well as of the Graduate Program at Aristotle University Nanosciences and
Nanotechnologies/NN (http://nn.physics.auth.gr/ensite/index.htm).
